“It looks like it’s feelin’ a bit blue.” said Sebastian as he looked at the sea creature. Some sailors from The Bucci named Bucky and Ben suggested to feed it some fish. They threw fish into the sea, but the sea creature didn’t do anything with it! “Maybe it wants to be friends?” suggested Zheng He as he jumped off the ship and patted the sea creature.

Zheng He, a kind person who will stay in our hearts and will never ever be forgotten.
